Words Given as Defense

Mark 13:9-11   
9 “But watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

As Christ's return waits for His time, we are to be filled with the gospel in following Jesus.  This will mean more and more persecution for His name and message, but we are still to speak truth in love.  He will give us words to say as needed; our part is complete availability and willingness to follow and be ready to give the reason of this hope in us.  "The Great Commission is a purpose big enough to capture your entire life." - Leroy Eims
